SINGER Sinitta was heartbroken last night after the surrogate mother expecting her twins miscarried.

X Factor vocal coach Sinitta was on tour when she took the tragic call from single mum Kerry West, who was carrying her babies.

Sinitta, who is appearing in the musical What A Feeling, said: "I feel absolutely devastated.

"My husband is abroad on business, so I'm in my hotel room in Bournemouth alone and have been crying for hours."

She added: "I haven't told any of my friends or cast mates yet.

"I keep looking out of my window at the sea and praying that God will keep me strong.

"We will try again, definitely. I'm trying to be as positive as Kerry. But in the meantime I just feel heartbroken - inconsolable."

Sinitta, 39, and her husband Andy Willner, 45, had been trying to have a baby naturally since they married four years ago. The Mirror exclusively revealed last November that they had turned to Kerry to be their surrogate mum.

They built up a strong friendship with her and filmed a video diary of their attempts at IVF treatment for ITV's This Morning. But on Tuesday, Kerry, who was eight weeks pregnant, broke the news that Sinitta's dream of becoming a mum at Christmas was over.

The pair had just done a national radio interview on the phone from separate locations, talking about their excitement over the twins.

Mother-of-two Kerry, 35, from Surrey, said: "My mum rushed me to the doctors and they confirmed what I hoped wasn't true - that the babies were lost.

"I called Sinitta straight away.

It was the hardest call I've ever had to make. There wasn't much Sinitta could say in such a sad situation. I feel so sorry, not for myself, but for her and Andy.

"It was my birthday and a horrible day. But Sinitta and I are very close. We'll both be there for each other. And we'll try again."

Sinitta, who had hits with So Macho and Toyboy in the 1980s and has dated Brad Pitt and Simon Cowell, had nicknamed the babies Tiger and Mouse.

She had also chosen Cowell to be godfather to the twins.

Sinitta had been told she would have trouble carrying a baby full-term after suffering a miscarriage four years ago.

She decided to try surrogacy after reading a magazine article.

And although buying a baby is illegal in the UK, she and her husband are allowed to pay "reasonable expenses" of #11,000.

Sinitta now hopes to try surrogate IVF again as soon specialists give Kerry the all-clear.

She said: "Kerry is amazing. Andy and I are so grateful for everything she's gone through.

"She did nothing wrong and has been so devoted to looking after herself throughout the pregnancy.
